Luncheon Pasta SaladA refreshing light pasta salad for a main dish luncheon or summer potluck. I like small or medium shell pasta, but elbow, ditalini or bow tie pastas are good choices too. |

Red Cabbage ColeslawThink outside the box for your next slaw with this creamy deep red cabbage version. The dried cranberries are camouflaged by the cabbage color and provide a pleasant sweet taste surprise, while walnuts add extra crunch. |

Ham, Peas & Pasta SaladA nice choice for a summer cookout or picnic, this pasta salad can be made up to a day ahead for convenience. My pasta choice for this is ditalini, a small pasta often used in soups (this can be hard to locate but Barilla sells a one pound box.) Or substitute your own small pasta FAV such as elbows or shells. |

Jean's Potato SaladMy friend Jean makes one of the best potato salad I have tasted. She shared her recipe with me. Here is her easy, quick and tasty recipe. Great for a potluck.

Make this ahead of time and chill ~ if you can wait and can keep everyone out too! |

Chicken, Tomatoes & Rotini SaladHearty pasta salad to help use up leftover roast chicken or turkey. I've a bumper crop of grape tomatoes which work well in this too. I try to go light on the seasonings, so follks can adjust as desired when served. |

Zucchini, Yellow Squash & Radish SaladSo colorful, light and refreshing, this goes over well at summer feeds, and helps use up your garden harvest. Make this in advance to allow a thorough chilling, about 2 hours. It's best served the day made. Sub any veggies you want for variations, or change to a main dish salad over pasta. Leftovers can top salad greens for yet… |

Budget Cooking
I love to cook with fresh, healthy ingredients. But I also live in the real world, and sometimes we all need those quick, easy, processed-food-laden, budget meals. Here's a place to share them.
